The concept behind "Amazing X-Men" #16, where the Ruby of Cytorrak calls out for a new host, is a solid one. Christopher Yost and Jorge Fornes's comic, though, suffers from erratic art and a plot that stalls for time.

A fun romp with some interesting choices, "Marvel 75th Anniversary Celebration" #1 features the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine and Jessica Jones as well as some other surprising inclusions.

Rick Remender satisfyingly wraps up his epic "Dimension Z" story in "Captain America" #10 and sets up an interesting new status quo for the future. John Romita, Jr. and Klaus Janson make it look epic enough, but with some noticeable we
